Revisiting the Index Card Dock

Hey, remember when I posted the picture and info about the Japanese “index card dock” awhile back? Well, evidently some of you do, and are still finding it, because it’s a rare day when that entry doesn’t get hits.

I emailed the good people at Correct to see what it would cost to order a dock out of curiosity (I’ve since bought an antique card file) and never got a response. It turns out that they don’t want to get into the international shipping biz.

But hawk has bridged the gap for those international customers who would like to order some of the Japanese gear he uses.

That’s the dock.

Those are the index cards. (And if you’re wondering what makes them different, there are at least two things. One, heavier card stock. Two, the graphs are consistent from one card to the next. Part of hawk’s personal system is to mark the top of the card by coloring in a square — which square he colors in indicates what kind of info is on the card. American graph cards are not consistent at all — when you look from the top, they don’t line up like the Japanese ones do.

If you look at the pic below, the cards with solid squares on top have been completed; the squares that are only outlined are not. Cool, huh?

And if I’m not mistaken, as expensive as they are, the Japanese ones are still cheaper than the good quality Levenger cards.

I hope this helps somebody out!

Now. Go get something done.
